"The Good Place's" Jameela Jamil Encourages People to Measure Their Worth in More Than Pounds or Kilograms

No matter how much society tries to convince you otherwise, you're worth so much more than a number on the scale or on the tag of your jeans. Here to remind you of that very important fact is Jameela Jamil, who took a stand on Friday against those who are attempting to boil down a person's worth into the amount of physical space they take up. It all began when the The Good Place star spotted an Instagram post about the Kardashian-Jenner women's weights. The misguided post features a group photo of Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie with the amount each woman apparently weighs in kilograms written on top, alongside an inexplicable and completely tasteless caption.

Jameela uploaded a screenshot of the post to her Instagram story several times, growing understandably more outraged with each repost. "Who gives a F*CK what weight you are?" she wrote, adding, "Why does anyone care what they weigh?" In another slide, she circled the post's caption, which asked if Kim appears to weigh the number listed in the photo, writing, "What is this toxic bullsh*t?" She finished her (completely justified) Insta rant with a resounding "F*ck this account" and "This is how women are taught to value themselves. In kg. GRIM." A little while later, Jameela made the most of the very grim situation by uploading a mirror selfie to her IG story and listing the positive ways in which she measures her power and worth. "I weigh: Lovely relationship. Great friends. I laugh every day. I love my job. I make an honest living. I'm financially independent. I speak out for women's rights. I like my bingo wings. I like myself in spite of EVERYTHING I've been taught by the media to hate myself about. F*cking KG."

After Jameela uploaded her empowering selfie to Instagram and Twitter, where she captioned it, "I'm on the war path," several others followed suit. The British actress reposted some of these celebratory shots on her own Insta Story: In each one, the subject writes "I weigh" and lists the relationships, accomplishments, and personality traits that make them who they are, ending with "f*cking kg" — and inspiring people everywhere to embrace themselves for who they are, rather than something as inconsequential as what they weigh.
